If you did something wrong, obviously you won't be announcing that and admitting to it.
If you did nothing wrong but were forced out, you will likely still keep quiet because complaining loudly about your employer is really bad for your prospects looking for future employment. You may also earn yourself a lawsuit for defamation or breach of contract.
Despite the obvious loss to the world in keeping that truth hidden, it's generally in your best interest to keep your head down and move on, lest you become the target of a billion dollar corporation.
Yes, it's extremely uncommon for a company to say they had to let an executive go. Not least because it reflects poorly on the judgement of the people who hired them.
"We wish them best of luck in their future endeavours", or something similar, is usually what you get out of the company.
Larger corps may even shy away from providing details of malfeasance to future employers reaching out for info on the employee, fearing a lawsuit, so will confirm the person worked there during the timespan they say they did, and that's about it.

To lie about it, Sure. Not sure if they realize that in some cases it's very transparent

Probably there long enough to be a hindrance to criminal activity.
